About the Role

This is a small, entrepreneurial equipment manufacturer with a long-standing customer base and a team that takes real ownership of their work. The company is in an active growth phase, investing in people and building out its operations with intention. This is not a corporate environment.

The company is hiring an Engineering Technician to support production, service, and engineering teams across a hands-on, cross-departmental role. If you have a strong electrical background and enjoy working with your hands, and want to grow within a company that will invest in your development, this is worth a close look.

You will be working directly with equipment, performing electrical troubleshooting, installations, and field service support. Travel is minimal, roughly 10% of the time.
